I mainly got inspired by the Muse Challenge #7 - like Beverley I also used butterflies with a white outline on kraft cardstock.I did not apply a whitewash first. For this reason, the colors are brighter and less pastel looking.

It really turned out sweet and lovely. I used "Two Daisies in a Bottle" from A Day for Daisies. To finish the card, I applied white faux stitching and a tiny tag with a pink heat-embossed heart around the bottleneck. I pierced two tiny holes on both sides and put some neutral twine through them - this adds dimension as well as a certain amount if interactivity, since the tag remains free to be moved.

I always wanted to make an acetate card. Here it is ... I used the beautiful Vintage Summer Basics Paper Pad and since I have a little daughter and four cats, this is one of my favorite digital stamps (Ali's Kitten).

this is my second post for today. Click here to check out the first one.

I used a watercolor paper scrap, inkpads,some water, the Sugar Rush stamp set from Paper Smooches and the Face It stamp set from The Alley Way Stamps to create the popsicles. I put Glossy Accents on top to give them extra shine and dimension.

It was quite hard to photograph the "hello baby" sentiment. That's why I have some close-ups for you:

The card turned out to be very subtle but also very sweet. My main inspirations for this card were the Muse Challenge #71, the Color Throwdown Challenge #296 and the Curtain Call Challenge: Sweet Pea. I used four layers of the same cut - three from blue/pink cardstock and one from patterned paper with sweet little flowers. I puzzled the letters back into that same patterned paper. The stars serve as an extra embellishment made from three layers of cardstock and one layer of patterned paper with clear Wink of Stella on top. As a final touch, I added some neutral twine and the card was done.
